Use a scraper to remove all traces of old liquid gasket from

mating surfaces and grooves. Also, completely clean any oil
from these areas.
Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating surfaces.
(Use Genuine RTV silicone sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-50.)
Be sure liquid gasket diameter is as specified in this manual.

11. If compression in one or more cylinders is low:

a. Pour a small amount of engine oil into cylinders through spark
plug holes.
b. Retest compression.
I If adding oil helps compression, piston rings may be worn
or damaged. If so, replace piston rings after checking piston.
I If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating
improperly. Inspect and repair valve and valve seat. (Refer
to SDS, EM-80 and EM-83.) If valve or valve seat is damaged excessively, replace them.
I If compression stays low in two cylinders that are next to
each other:
a) The cylinder head gasket may be leaking, or
b) Both cylinders may have valve component damage. Inspect
and repair as necessary.
